Run along the original, ‘rails to trails’ trail! This paved, multi-use path stretches from near downtown, north for 25+ miles to Sheridian, with numerous connections to other area trails. There are several ‘sections’ of the trail, and it’s well waymarked, with good kiosk maps along the way. Note: it’s a gradual incline heading north.
Heading north from downtown, it’s 3.5 miles to the Indiana State Fairgrounds. At 6 miles, Broad Ripple — a pretty village with a bright red bridge, cool cultural scene restaurants, galleries (and a running track at the high school). The next few miles north to Carmel are a suburban corridor lined with trees and some local artwork. For a more pastoral section, the 6 miles from Westfield to Sheridian is pretty countryside.
